Top 10 FAQ’s About Being a Beachbody Coach

1.What is a Beachbody Coach?

Beachbody refers to their reps as “coaches”. They call them coaches because they are more than just “distributors” or “reps”. Yes, they have the ability to sell and suggest fitness products and workouts, but they also have a vested interest to “coach” the people they are in contact with into a better and healthier way of life. Look at it this way…Some of us, naturally want to help others reach their fitness goals, whether we are compensated or not. I answered questions, and provided information, long before becoming a coach. Now I get to receive some compensation, for what I would do anyway. Pretty cool.

2.Who can be a coach?

ANYONE! You do not need to be invited; you can make this decision yourself and sign up today! We strongly encourage those to join in the coaching business who have a strong desire to reach their deepest goals. This is a home based business, where you act as the “go-to” person, for people wanting to get fit,, need help, or motivation.

You can be a fitness professional, in the best shape of your life, or working your way to the best shape of your life….as long as you are committed and dedicated to staying accountable, you can help others become accountable in their goals too!

3.What do I “do” everyday as a coach?

Depending on where you want to take your business or the direction of your goals, this answer can be different for everyone. But primarily the common answer is to – Share your Story! As a coach, you have the ability to sell any Beachbody item from their nutrition products all the way to their workout programs.
